    4) Have you ever been to a mall barefoot? Yes
    5) Have you ever been to the movies barefoot? No
    6) What is the longest period of time that you have gone completely barefoot? 8 weeks, but it was a conscious decision, deliberately not wearing any sandals at some occasions where I otherwise would have, just to say I've been "completely barefoot" for x weeks
    7) What do your parents think about your barefooting? They accept it, but prefer not doing so outside pubs and clubs with lots of broken glass
    8) What do your friends say about your lack of shoes? Some think it's awesome, some truly hate it, some are quite neutral

    11) Do you paint your toenails or wear hemp anklets and toe rings? No
    12) Do you ever wear socks? Never during mid-April and mid-September, always barefoot or barefoot in sandals or other shoes. However due to cold winters they are needed by then.
    13) Have you ever gone barefoot on a first date? Actually yes. I met a girl who was also walking around barefoot, she said she liked by choice not wearing shoes and couldn't understand why most people wear shoes during summer, people should take the opportunity walking around barefoot when we finally have warm weather. I agreed. Afterwards we were dating for a while and spent almost all of our dates together completely barefoot.
    14) Where is your favorite place to go barefoot? Cycle paths next to grass so you can divide your walks between asphalt and grass.
    15) Have you ever gone to a concert barefoot? Which one? Yes, some local concerts, mainly in semi-muddy locations where barefoot is the natural choice.

    1) How often do you go barefoot during the warmer months?
    I try to seize every opportunity that I can get, and during the past few years now I've been very successful. However, sometimes decorum and sometimes circumstances force my feet into shoes. In certain social situations bare feet just don't go well together with the required dress. A few years back I also accidentally stepped on a nail, and had to wear shoes to guard the wound from getting dirt in it. These things are just facts of life, unfortunately.

    2) How cold does it have to be until you will wear shoes?
    I don't decide this based solely on ambient temperature, but simply by the requirements of the current situation. I've worn shoes in summer heat where necessary, but I've also walked barefooted on snow, having gone as low as -10 Centigrade (14 Fah), where my limit lies, as it starts to get painful very quickly at that point. Suffice to say, once temperatures dip below 15 C (59 Fah), I start limiting my naked soles barefooting to home only, and wearing shoes in public places, mostly to avoid any hassle.

    3) Do you wear shoes when you go shopping?
    Winter, yes, because I'm outside of my home, where I can't control my surroundings. Summer, I try to avoid wearing them as often as possible.

    4) Have you ever been to a mall barefoot?
    Yes, many times now.

    5) Have you ever been to the movies barefoot?
    Yes. The premiere of Terminator Genisys in July 2015. The clerk at the ticket counter was completely indifferent to my choice of footwear, and I'm sure he saw them. Others didn't even see my feet, because the room was dark. Pleasant experience.

    6) What is the longest period of time that you have gone completely barefoot?
    Non-stop? A 2-week stretch in July of 2014 during a record breaking heatwave, only interrupted because my feet were starting to get very sore at the end of it and needed a moment to recuperate, and because I needed to attend a wedding that mandated formal dress.

    7) What do your parents think about your barefooting?
    I'm a big boy earning my own money now, so they don't have a say in the matter.

    8) What do your friends say about your lack of shoes?
    During summers, nothing much. It's seen as perfectly sensible here. Winters are different, however. Snow walkers would be guaranteed to get weird looks, so I only barefoot at home during the colder half.

    9) What is the best comment you ever got for being barefoot?
    A child, a little girl to her dad a few years ago: "Daddy look, that man is barefoot!". Made me smile. It was a public parking lot, so I let it slide. I do hope that I inspired the little one to try this.

    10) What is the worst comment anyone has given about your bare feet?
    Some wino on the street once started asking me "Hey buddy, did you forget your shoes somewhere?". Not really his business, so it was annoying.

    11) Do you paint your toenails or wear hemp anklets and toe rings?
    No, not my style.

    12) Do you ever wear socks?
    Less and less these days. But unfortunately where I live, winters, very hard ones, are a fact of life that mandate the use of protection.

    13) Have you ever gone barefoot on a first date?
    I've only ever been in one relationship, now long since ended, and I wasn't yet an active barefooter when it started, so no, no barefoot dates for me.

    14) Where is your favorite place to go barefoot?
    Home, the beach. And a nearby nature trail not too far from my home. I take barefoot walks there during the summers every chance I get. Soft dirt, leaves on the ground. You'd love it. Only problem is that during the month of May, it turns into a gnat hell, with hungry mosquitos trying to suck your blood. July to mid-August are perfect, though.

    15) Have you ever gone to a concert barefoot? Which one?
    I haven't had the opportunity yet, but it's on my bucket list. If I find the right time and the right band.
